One day I'll collect my thoughts about how despite how much gore and blood American horror movies can have, they're still too pussy shit to add cum or bile or anything that acknowledges the human body's functions beyond being meat

Seeing my name beside these authors and I'm trying to be sooo normal about it 😳 Really appreciate this shout out to my story that came out in @uncannymagazine.bsky.social. while not my usual dark horror bag, this was more me exploring cultural grief and the inevitably of your loved ones passing.

I analyzed over 10 years of anti-trans legislation. Over 330 bills have passed, with ~300 of them in just the last 5 years. There is no precedent in American history for so many bills to target one particular minority group like this in such a short timeframe. www.thedissident.news/the-ratchet/

The Ratchet

In 2015, state legislatures across the United States considered 75 anti-LGBTQ bills, of which 27 targeted gender identity.1 In 2025, that total reached 1,059—with 851 of the current-session bills targ...

Uncanny Magazine is eligible for the Best Semiprozine Hugo, & Michael Damian Thomas is eligible for the Best Editor (Short Form) Hugo. (Note: If you are nominating Michael Damian Thomas in this category, please only list Michael. They solo edited Uncanny Magazine in 2025.)

Cover: Mushroom Mother of Us All by Paul Lewin. In the center, an elderly Black woman has her eyes serenely closed, a brown-orange nose piercing on her right nostril and an orange line/mark on her chin. Her hair are the green leaves of trees, trunks growing out of the side of her face, and mushrooms growing through the leaves. She wears large earrings of orange, sienna, with aqua and white lines and dots. Her hands hold a bowl lined with Black faces and mushrooms growing out of the bowl. In the center of the bowl and thus the front of her chest is an orange sun surrounded by a dark pink halo like a globe. The text "Uncanny," "November/December 2025," "Issue Sixty-Seven," and the credits are in white.Michael and Caitlin Thomas
